2 Years of TR (Transforming Rehabilitation) ...

Transforming Rehabilitation

Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) reached its 2 year milestone in February 2017. Throughout that period there has been significant changes across the 5 Purple Futures Community Rehabilitation Companies (Merseyside (MERS), Cheshire and Greater Manchester (CGM), West Yorkshire (WY), Humberside, Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire (HLNY) and Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (HIOW)), including staff restructures, changes in the delivery model as well as implementing a new IT infrastructure.

The changes have extended to the supply chain where there has been significant growth. In 2015 when TR commenced there were 43 externally delivered offender facing contracts across the 5 regions. 2 years later there are now 88 contracts. The new contracts include accommodation support in CGM and MERS delivered by Riverside, Substance Misuse in HIOW which is delivered by Society of St James, BAME Mentoring support in WY delivered by Touchstone and DV and Sex Working in WY and HLNY delivered by TWP. In the last 12 months alone over 14,000 services users have accessed support via the supply chain.

Part of the increase is directly attributed to the success of the Innovation and Grant Fund. The Funds enables Delivery Organisations on TR’s Preferred Provider List to directly apply to a panel to either trial innovative and specialist provision that addresses gaps in services or to apply for funding to run previously successful projects that deliver quality outcomes. To date there have been 51 approved projects equating to £1,295,825 across both funds

If you would like to become a specialist provider on TRs Preferred Provider List please email tr@3sc.org. We are particularly looking for providers who can deliver Unpaid Work Placements with Employment support.

Testimonials

"3SC are extremely efficient in dealing with any queries or questions, and are also a friendly team to work with’
"

Holly Rushton - Administration Team Leader, AbilityNet

"Groundwork in Greater Manchester has benefited from 3SC's quality assurance processes, their online customer management system, and appropriately challenging but supportive monthly performance reviews. Communication with 3SC has been transparent and professional, I would have no hesitation in recommending 3SC as a choice of prime contractor.
"

Robert Glenn - Business Development Manager, Groundwork in Bolton, Bury, Oldham & Rochdale

"We started working with Purple Futures in Merseyside in January 2016. 3SC were involved from the start, providing a reporting and monitoring platform that significantly helped us to ensure not only that we had robust procedures to evidence outcomes properly, but also that those procedures grew with the contract, and were flexible to the needs of our learners.
Our contract monitoring lead at 3SC was Karen Ballentyne and I cannot speak too highly of her support throughout. Not only was she crucial in ensuring that compliance standards were met, but she also got involved in the courses we ran, making sure she understood the nuances of our delivery, where the stress lines existed with the wider partnership and providing advice and contacts that enabled us to address issues and resolve problems. Without this unique provision, ensuring the smooth implementation and ongoing delivery of the project would have been much harder.
"

Peter Bentley - Managing Director, Intuitive Thinking Skills Ltd

"We are delighted to be working with 3SC. They have been supportive and demonstrated clearly what we need to do, and have helped us with this.
They are focused on quality performance and I hope our working relationship can become even closer providing mutual benefit, and enabling more blind and partially sighted people to obtain and retain employment.
"

Sean Owen – UK Employment Services Manager, RNIB

"RNIB Scotland are delighted to be working in partnership with 3SC to enable blind and partially sighted people to move into and sustain meaningful employment through referrals to the DWP "Specialist Employment Support "(SES) programme.
